The deal, is quite clever, depending on how Norwich value Gilks the deal could be worth much more. It's a clever way of playing the system especially if Livingston are awarded cash from the deal. We're safe in the knowlege that we have a new 'keeper and if he's any good we can sell him for a few quid and make up for the loss.

But away from the politics of football and this deal in question and I have to say well done Blackpool. Okay, Matt Gilks  may not have had the most brilliant career at Norwich. In fact he didn't start a game. But at Rochdale he played nearly 200 games and kept a clean sheet in quiet a few aswell.

Gilks will be there to provide competition for Paul Rachukuba although Gilks's former boss believed he can expell Rachukuba from that position. He's signed a two year deal with an option for another. One last position for Larry to fill and hopefully a very good signing.

Welcome Gilksy!
